The Red Rising API

What is the Red Rising API?

I LOVE the Red Rising saga written by Pierce Brown and I was really bummed that there wasn't a Red Rising API out there yet (or at least I couldn't find one). I'm setting out to build the biggest and baddest RR api in the galaxy.

Link to project: Check out the API here

How It's Made:

Tech used: HTML, Javascript, Node, Express

I created a server using Node and Express. I will be adding more HTML, CSS and Javascript as I keep building.

Optimizations

This is very much still a work-in-progress. Right now the API only accepts requests for characters and certain attributes. I hope to continue to grow the API with requests such as alliances, planets, family trees, color meaning and sigils. You can access a simple client side interface here to demo how it works.

Lessons Learned:

This is my first stab at building an API and it was A LOT of fun. I also learned how to use Heroku, Node and Express.

Examples:

Are you a Red Rising fan? Here's an early timeline web page I made.
